Well, I guess it's my turn. Photo is of three bums in Jacksonville, Florida, and one
good woman (married to the bum in the middle). I'm the one on the left, teaching that
palm tree a lesson it won't ever forget.
I pondered what photo to post here. Finally settled on this one. Never
had big adventures. Don't have cool photos of me while traveling around the world. Just a pretty normal guy. And some of the
members of the boards no doubt recognize that daily life can be a pretty big adventure sometimes, and that is
fine too.
Three pretty normal,
average, middle-aged guys. All of us missing one
leg each. Two years ago the three of us rode bicycles as a team from Seattle, WA to Jacksonville,
FL. Visited with amputee support groups along the way, as well as 15 rehab hospitals. With the notable exception of my marriage and my children, the single best thing I've done in my life to date. I am more proud of this than anything else. So it's a worthy topic to share, I guess.
